Spring 2.5 and Json (Spring Json View)

Question

Has any one tried the Spring Json View tutorial ?

I followed that tutorial, but I've got 404 error while I access hello.json.

I'm new to coding a Java application with Spring, may be there is some mistake with my configuration file?

My project name is jsonapp

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

HelloController.java

package com.tutorial.json.web;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/hello.json")
public class HelloController {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView hello() {
        Map<String, String> model = new HashMap<String, String>();
        model.put("firstname", "Peter");
        model.put("secondname", "Schmitt");

        return new ModelAndView("jsonView", model);
    }
}

Thanks for your help

<url-pattern> in your web.xml is mapped to *.htm and not *.json
